Devotional MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH, 2010 Day 2
filled with joy
For the next three days, we’ll be hearing about a girl who has been forever changed by Operation Christmas Child.
Ask Victoria Blaske about Operation Christmas Child, and her eyes will immediately light up. She knows what a blessing a simple gift can bring to a girl or boy living in difficult circumstances.
When she was 7, Victoria received a shoe box at her school in the rural village in northern Ghana. The students were instructed not to open their boxes until they had arrived safely home. Unable to contain her excitement, the little girl in a tattered school uniform joined her classmates in a mad dash home—more than a mile away. Once there, they gathered under the large mango tree in the village and created quite a spectacle as they unwrapped the colorful packages.
Inside Victoria’s box were washcloths, a round tin of bubble gum, a Barbie doll, and a plastic white horse. These were the first toys she had ever received. “I was so excited to see all the boxes,” Victoria recalled. “I felt sad though, realizing my friends that weren’t at school that day would not receive these gifts.”
That evening, the children and their families were invited back to the school grounds to watch a movie about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Their makeshift outdoor theater was simply a large white sheet tied between two trees and draped over the stack of empty cartons that had held shoe boxes just hours before.
Victoria was enthralled. She was all the more astonished that the movie was in Frafra, her native tongue and an uncommon language even in Ghana. The villagers were greatly moved too, and many tearfully committed their hearts to Christ.
The details of that joy-filled day five years ago remain vivid to Victoria. For a child who had experienced great loss in her young life, the shoe box distribution and evangelistic program were the Christmas Day she had never experienced before.
James 2:5 ~ Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?
Prayer: Dear God – We pray that the people and families preparing shoe boxes this year will be blessed, for the volunteers who will operate collection centers and work at processing centers, and for the children who will receive the gifts, that they will be overjoyed and will come to know the love of Christ.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
